Raised
cracks in stucco due to flat

lath

From Washington, DC, the nation's
capital:

This 40 year old stucco was done with flat lath, and
the lath was pinned too tight to the wall. Using self
furring metal lath, or furring the wall with furring
blocks, or using furring nails would have prevented
this.
